Nomad
Why they want me dead
I cause no harm but lead
Leave me red
Bloodshed
My skin it shed
I lose my shed
The street my shed
The block my bed
I'm feeling like a nomad
And if I ain't have this notepad
To stand up and pen down this song in hopes that
It gives me the feeling of a home
And not a house
The comfortability in kicking my feet up on the couch
Open the fridge and grab those groceries from Sprouts
No more fast food I'm off of that shit
No more feeling past due
Uh
I'm on to it
Before it's even mentioned for real
I can't find a place to rest my head
Or put these thoughts to rest
So I speak the rest of what needs to be said
To the grass in this field
Or the lines on this street
I turn the corner and consider pouring my heart out
To this parked black Jeep
It's been there since 10 pm
And right now it's 'bout 3
And the only thing I've had to drink or eat
Was a dream and my spit
Don't you see
I been chewed up for what I believe
Why can't I ever be free?
I get one bit of release
And then they back to handcuffing me
All this talk of wanting nothing to do with me
But you won't ever let me leave
I can't understand this obsession
With false possession
The false perception you have of me
Be having me
Fucked beyond all the way above me
I mean so above me
I feel it's not even for me to speak on it deep
So above me that only God is in arms reach
Of what you're claiming who I am or who I be
I know you got a problem with the way that I speak
I know you don't like the fact that when you see my face on TV screens
I'm never smiling
Thats cus I ain't got no teeth
I ain't got no meal
I ain't got no chance for me to speak how I feel
You don't care and neither do my own kind
We beef over money when we grew up just alike
I can't understand why I am, why I am
I guess that's why to everyone
I play the sacrificial lamb
I fight the man
I fight this plan
Set out to leave me dead and gone
All I can say is "Damn"
Yo how'd we get to this?
And why am I here?
While you get to choose your life
I was forced this nightmare
I wish you felt what I felt for once
So you can go and feel those cold stares
So you can sleep on cold stairs
Or be on the verge of suicide everyday
But you still scared
So every night you sleep
Hoping you don't hear roosters in ya ear
These bitches is birds
They don't know they own worth
But quick to tell me I ain't shit
Cus she don't see what she like in me, in her
This world done kicked me to the curb like a nomad
I'm always on the road just know that
Even tho we don't share the same beliefs
And you can't seem to see what I see
I don't want you dead and I don't wish for bloodshed
I just do what I do to survive
Cus death ain't a option
When God call on me
Just know that ima block it
Ima spark a change inside your brain and can't nobody stop it
But I still thank above for another 24
Especially cus there won't ever be another
TWENTY24FOUR
I cause no harm but lead
Leave me red
Bloodshed
